Misinformed but Well Meaning: Ethnic Cleansing and United States Newspaper Coverage of the Bosnian War From 1992-1995
Get PDFThe Bosnian War and the atrocities that accompanied it headlined media sources around the world from 1992 to 1995. Journalists who covered the war later produced memoirs of their time within the region. These accounts influenced the views and language of other journalists who wrote for newspapers in the United States at the time. This can be seen through the development of common language among journalists, such as the term “ethnic cleansing.” This project examines articles from United States newspapers, from their early coverage of the conflict to their later efforts to encourage American intervention in Bosnia. These newspapers guided their readership to support an interventionist policy by the United States, which was realized in the Dayton Agreement
How can I better live personal and professional values in my interpreting work with colleagues?
Get PDFThis study was an attempt to improve my practice through inviting the insights of my colleagues into my work with them. Eleven hearing interpreters participated. Through interviews, I found that conferencing before the assignment and debriefing afterward elevated my colleagues’ beliefs about my embodiment of collegiality and respect for their professional autonomy, despite times my efforts fell short during assignments. Colleagues told me they thought the pre-conferencing practices I adopted as part of the research were helpful to our decision-making during assignments. My finding that pre-conferencing is helpful for teaming supports Hoza’s (2010b) claim that this standard practice is effective, but other aspects of my inquiry point to ambiguities and tough decisions in teaming. The methodology employs “multiple perspectives of knowing” to give an embodied account of teaming (Zuber-Skerritt & Fletcher, 2007, p. 417)

La nación chicana imaginada
No full textEste ensayo busca responder a la pregunta “¿Es posible tener naciones dentro de otras naciones?” mirando la experiencia y cultura chicana dentro de los EEUU. El análisis se basa en las definiciones de una nación descritos por Ernest Renan en su ensayo “What is a Nation?” y Benedict Anderson en “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism”. El hipótesis es que hay comunidades dentro de naciones que contienen varios aspectos de lo que constituye una nación, pero no pueden ser naciones completamente realizadas, o, por lo menos, no hoy en día
The Creation of a King: How Geoffrey of Monmouth Influenced the Story of King Arthur
Get PDFGeoffrey of Monmouth (c.1095-1155 CE) is one of the most influential writers on King Arthur. Prior to Geoffrey’s History of the Kings of Britain, there was little to no mention of the legendary king in early medieval historical texts. Geoffrey’s development of Arthur paved the way for future authors and storytellers to implement Integrate King Arthur in their work, developing and expanding the legend. This paper will utilize Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain and identify its influences in other Arthurian tales from the medieval period (eleventh century to sixteenth century) including Marie de France’s Lais, Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’arthur, and the Welsh folktale compilation, the Mabinogion. Analysis of these literary and historical sources demonstrates that other medieval authors used Geoffrey’s tale of King Arthur for political and social advancement when writing for nobility and also adapting and adding to the Arthur legend to fit their own cultural norms. Identifying how Geoffrey’s History of the Kings of Britain was adapted and spread is important in identifying what causes myths and legends to catch on and last well beyond the time of their creation
